SHARP'S WIFE'S DEVOTION.

Called Home to Keep sharp from Ming s'us
w. Bburke Cochran has been hastily called
from Saratoga, where he was attending the
Democratic Convention, to take part In tho
strugglo that Lawyer stickney is making 70
keep jacob Sharp out Of Sing Sing prison. All
the array OF lawyers that clustered about M.
Sharp during his trial have fallen away from
his fortunes except Mr.. Suckney aud per
haps Peter MITCHELL whose sympathies are
sti with Mr.. Sharp. although his chances to
labor for him have been usurped by Mr. STICK
ney. Mr. Cochran appeared In the case only
after the conviction, and then In the form OF
an orator. but now no has been called upon fc-
other work, and has obeyed the summons.
He arrived in town last evening and went nc
once to Ludlow street jail. where he remained
In consultation with Mr.. Sharp for half an
hour. Mr.. Stickney was there In the morning.
and his interview with his aged client was o
longer ono.
Both tho lawyers wore reticent regarding
their future actions, Mr.. stickney because he
is never communicative and Mr.. Cochran
probably because be was not certain concern
ing the next step. The opinion denying the
motion for q now trial wGs made public on
Monday, but Judge Van Brunt delayed the
formal announcement OF 1t In order to give
Mr.. Sharps counsel an opportunity to decide
upon their next step. That the de-
cision has been arrived at there Is no
doubt but the move will have to be hurried
now, because the General Term will convene
at IL o'clock this morning. and tho formal
order will be handed to District Attorney Mar
tine by Judge Van Brunt. The order will be
in the hands OF Sheriff Grant at midday. and
the work of preparing for Mr. Sharp's removal
to Sing Sing on Friday will be begun at once.
In this emergency there are only two
methods by which the law can be invoked to
keep Mr.. Sharp in town. One OF these Is to
secure from some Judge Of the Court OF APP
peore ths court Of last resort
Such Il certificate would operate as stay and
prevent Mr. sharps removal to SING sihG rHt
not convene in Albany until Monday. Any
Judge OF this court Gan grant SertinePPt nft ON
